Our Story

Aloha Fresh was founded in 2015 by a group of Hawaiian guys looking for authentic poke in California. We bring the flavors of Hawaii to the Bay Area, using fish sourced directly from Hawaiian watersโ€”never frozen or treated with carbon monoxide. Our poke is made in-house daily with fresh ingredients, honoring the traditional Native Hawaiian dish.

The Native Hawaiians first created poke, a Hawaiian dish, by dicing freshly caught fish and seasoning it with whatever was on hand – salt, limu (seaweed), and kukui nuts. Yup, it was that simple, yet so delicious!

Our goal is to keep the Hawaiian tradition alive. Our ahi is flown from Hawaiian waters within HOURS of being caught so that we can ensure our poke is as fresh and tasty as possible. We have 14 unique poke flavors made with in-house ingredients and, of course, our fresh ahi.

At our San Jose Japantown location, we also offer hot food, boba tea, and desserts to complement your meal. Experience poke the right way โ€” youโ€™ll taste the difference. Mahalo, and we hope to see you soon! #alwaysfreshneverfrozen
